Do you think a normal AIO would be ok if you are just swimming at home?
I notice that the reuseable swim nappies available don't soak up urine...would it work better with one of those plastic nappy covers over it?

TIA (trying to save a few dollars )

you'll find that no swim nappies actually soak up the urine when in water... they are meant more to catch any other stuff!!!

hi I teach swimming to little ones and I couldn't imagine the your AIO would be a problem for at home use.
The main purpose of wearing the nappy is for containment of accidents. You are right they don't contain pee and I wouldn't think that your AIO would either.
One baby in a big pool shouldn't affect the water too much. Just make sure if an accident happens that you treat your water well.

I agree with the others - no swim nappy will contain wee (even a disposable) as the water will just wash it all away! The main purpose is to catch poo so you just want to make sure that you have snug elastic. I like the Swimmis which is sold on the Snazzipants website as it does up with velcro so is really easy and a comfortable fit. I HATE the Kushies one I recently bought - the elastic is tight and scratchy and the velcro isn't very sticky

I wouldn't use an AIO just because the absorbent material is just going to absorb water and be all heavy. You can just use an unstuffed pocket. It will catch any possible mess and won't be heavy filled with water.

ditto what Stacey said re the AIO getting heavy when very wet. I use an un-stuffed HC pocket for Caitlin's swimming lessons and have never had a poop leak

Or even a smallish pair of shorts/undies will do the trick too. Nothing will stop urine and it won't make too much difference in any event since most primary aged kids still seem to pee in the water LOL. I don't know if you saw the funny quiz on here a month or so ago where a lot of us still remember peeing in pools as kids lol... whoops a bit OT there!

kinda puts you off swimmng in the pool doesnt it?

I heard that one of the main things about swim nappies is they dont absorb therefore dont weigh bubs down.

I wouldn't use an unstuffed pocket regularly in a public pool as the chlorine would ruin it over time. I take my kids for lessons every week and the chlorine breaks down the elastic in swim nappies as well as eats throuh togs - seriously! I'd never chance it with one of my beautiful nappies.

You can reuse swimming nappies (disposables) once or twice if they haven't pooed. Just dry it out and slap it back on again.
Its an option I have seen done though not sure I'd want to do it really.

Hmm, you make a good point that I hadn't thought of. Chlorine would do some damage to the cloth over time...
